Artist Statement:
Lauren McGrath is a contemporary Abstract Expressionist with a passion for visual texture, form and colour. She was born in Northern Ireland and raised in the cultural and artistic city of Wellington, where inspiration is always at her doorstep. Her fascination with art from a young age culminated in her studying Fine Arts at Massey University for six years, graduating in 2009. Primarily interested in exploring the elements of painting, Massey challenged her to explore and adopt new techniques which resulted in a series of Timebased (film and audio) Installational art.
Pursuing her passion for painting however, Lauren’s current series are fantastical landscapes of surreal, textured beauty; vibrant and evocative as her predecessors and highly influenced artists, such as Wassily Kandinsky, Bill Hammond and Jackson Pollock have all displayed in their work.
Phantom Flights explores the displacement of the significance of objects and in traditional landscape painting. Each painting is a combination of layered colour, texture and medium.
